Bless you, Fahim.
Is this the first time you've sworn at me? This is a good thing. Good for the heart, they say.
I'm probably one of those you're talking about but I'll give you a hug anyway.
****ing brilliant!
Anyway, my wife hasn't been that high but I'm always looking up to her.
Here she is in one of those intimate private moments I should never be allowed to photograph. **** that for a joke. I'm in there at every opportunity. Anyone wants privacy can stay at home.

I used to fly - hang gliders. Not any more. I now rely on higher technology. I put my trust in the ground staff to get me as high as I need.
That we are made of the same stuff, is an accurate statement at the most basic level of 44 autosomes and 2 sex chromosomes. I do not want to get int o the details of amino acids, the long and short arms of micro molecular biology; suffice to let you know that after the 46 chromosomes, we start to go our own ways. In effect, the genetic material determines why the Anglo Saxons, in general would be of fairer color than me. Why some have green eyes and so forth. So you see we are not the same after all.
It would appear that all of you have gone to higher altitudes than me. You see in the distance. Fellow mountaineer with a broken leg..in pain. There is no law to say one should put oneself in danger to help
that injured person. Would most of us at least try to help him/her? More importantly why?
What makes James Lemon not photograph homeless people while they are in a public place, and photographs are permitted?
In addition to the law, there are social norms, ethical and moral values that most of us collectively share. No law requires us to attempt to save a person from a burning building, help a blind person cross the street, carry an infirm lady's load across to her house.
Asher mentions that he has posted photographs of his family in this forum, but adds the caveat that they remain incognito. I have to ask why?
Asher then goes on to cheer you, Tom, creeping along the corridors of a public library ( all within the law) to go and ' hunt, hunt, hunt '. As to the lady that accosted you, he asks of us what she was doing..sitting on her arse ( his articulation ).
Then Jerome, who cleverly hides his camera and photographs some people ( which he could have done openly according to the Law ), but seems to feel that that was somehow not quite right.
And then there is you, Tom, who take pride in the fact that you seemed to have backed down a woman, who did not want her photograph taken. And the group cheers you on. Because within the law.
Lee asked Asher if your ( Oxford dictionary English... Your statement ) encrypted words be regained in.
Lee, you asked the wrong person. ' arseholes ' are a part of his articulate vernacular.
Maybe he considers me to be one. But he refrains from doing so, because I too can stay within the law
And give him a more than adequate response.
I responded with some constructs, and stated that this forum operates under those constructs. Since I did not receive a response to that, I have to come my own conclusions. And so should you Lee.
Antonio stated that I was mad. I am never mad. Tom would like me not to be despondent. What do I have to be despondent about. This forum. The participants?
Tom erroneously surmises that any of these entities or their actions would make me despondent.
Wrong. I have much much more important things to be delighted about than allow this forum to any thought in that regard.
As for himself. Tom attributes too much importance to himself. Despondent because of Tom or his posts. To be honest, I mostly ignore them. They do not merit my time.

Don't get too despondent, Fahim. We are all of the same stuff. Some just smell different.
Cheers
Tom
